What are you currently reading?

I started Evil in Me last night and I’m just over 40% through. This is my first time reading Brom and I’m really liking his writing style. This is an occult horror with some truly disturbing imagery and I’m eager to see where this story goes.

The God of Small Things is a book I’m reading with my book club. I just reached 80% today and I can see moments of brilliance but it is too muddled and overwritten. It took so long to get to the point of the story and Roy doesn’t seem to think there could ever be enough metaphors. As long as nothing too egregious happens with the ending this will probably be a three star read for me.

I started Book Lovers the last day of July and I’ve been picking it up here and there this month. I adore every single Emily Henry that I’ve read and it feels like a real treat picking it up a little at a time.

What have you recently finished?

Only One Survives

The Inheritance comes out in January so watch out for my review then but it was five stars. Definitely my favorite thriller of the year and I can’t imagine anything topping my reading experience with this book.

Thieves’ Gambit

What do you think you’ll read next?

Releases January 21, 2025

With a colorful cast of characters and a cellar full of wine, anything can happen―from murder to a second chance at love―in Jenny Elder Moke’s half mystery, half romance adult debut set at a lavish destination wedding.

A high-end wedding on a private island off the coast of Seattle sounds like something out of a magazine. But for bestselling mystery author Kate Valentine, it’s more like a nightmare.

Why Kate agreed to attend her ex-fiancé’s wedding is its own enigma, but she’ll plaster on a fake smile for two nights, with the aid of free champagne, naturally. And because the groom happens to be her editor, she’ll try to finish a draft of her latest Loretta Starling mystery as a wedding gift. But when the bride is poisoned and Kate stumbles across a dead body, she finds herself in a real-life mystery that eerily echoes the plot of her latest novel. And the only person who seems willing to help Kate catch the killer is Jake Hawkins, aka: the Hostralian; aka: Kate’s biggest romantic regret.

As the wine flows and the weather threatens to hold every guest hostage, bitter resentments and long-held grudges surface amongst the colorful crowd. Anyone could be capable of murder, it seems. What would Loretta do? Unfortunately, Kate doesn’t have a clue.
